Omega Meme

I’ve tagged students for the Omega Meme!



The rules are as follows:

Each player answers the six questions posted on this blog. The rules of the game are posted at the beginning before those answers are listed.

At the end of the post, the player then tags 8 people and posts their blog names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.

Then follow the instructions about adding a page element at omegascience.blogspot.com.



1. My favorite TV show is.......(explain why)

My favorite TV show is House. I like House because it's like a mystery you can solve while you watch it.

2. My favorite meal is...... (explain the meal in detail)

My favorite meal is cheese quesadillas and nachos w/ cheese from Taco Bell. They put cheese on a tortilla, squirt it with jalepeno sauce, and cook it. The nachos are chips with a spicy cheese.

3. My favorite nonschool activity is...... (explain why but do not give specific names that can identify you)

My favorite nonschool activity is sports. I like to play soccer, basketball, run, and bowl. I like soccer because, well, I'm not really sure. I've been playing it for a long time. It's the same with basketball, runnning, and bowling. I'm not sure why I like them, but I do.

4. Someone I look up to is....... (explain why)

Someone I look up to is someone I know that has dealt with a disease for a while and just always finds the time to be funny and friendly. This person is just great to be around and tries to not make life all about their illness.

5. My goal for the future is.....

My goal for the future is to go to Rutgers, which I have been planning to do since I was little.

6. In the first hour after school I usually do...... (explain why but do not give specific events or names that can identify you)

In the first hour after school I usually do my geometry homework, unless I have bowling, soccer, basketball, or track straight after school. I usually have a LOT of geometry homework, and it takes me FOREVER unless I start right away. If I have sports, then I have made a committment to a team and have to honor that committment.

Earthquakes, Faults, and Waves...OH MY!

In science, we're finishing up studying about earthquakes, faults, waves, and such. So treasure had us each take a topic to research. We then had to write a page for our unit wiki. My topic was the Coalinga, California earthquake. Did you know that in a high school, fluorescent lights fell on students? And that the city of Coalinga celebrated its 100th birthday last year? Also, the aftershocks continued for 2 years! This unfortunate quake was devastating, but I think it was important to help rebuild and bring the city together to help all the buildings that were destroyed. It really pulled everyone together for a single cause. Here I learned that the earthquake measured 6.7! I also learned that 487 people were injured in this earthquake. I feel bad for anyone who was hurt in 1983 by this quake.

MY WEBSITE

Here's the link to my website for the Tic Tac Toe project!!!!! I worked really hard on it and I hope you like it! P.S. Make sure the sound on your computer is on, because I have music, too!

The Twirl World

Roller Coaster Rock (or not)

In science class, we're working on a project with physics. My group is building a roller coaster. We must have 5 (I believe) aspects of a roller coaster exhibited. We have to buy all our supplies with Omega $$. To earn this, well, there's many ways to earn it. Anyway, back to building. We have to use Newton's laws to construct our coaster, like real engineers. Do you know Newton's laws? They're 3 very interesting facts. They are-

1- An object in motion will remain in motion and an object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

2- F=ma, or Force = Mass x Acceleration

3- Every action has an equal and opposite reaction

I found a site that can simulate building a roller coaster, just like what we're doing in class, but it's online. That's not very fair... online vs. the fun of building it yourself. But the site does include links to definitions to words-

Acceleration
Centripetal Force
Energy
Force
g's
Inertia
Momentum
Sir Isaac Newton
Velocity
Weightlessness
Weight
Work

This can help anyone confused. I read almost all the definitions! Also, here is an interactive guide to Newton's Laws. The games are fun, and they really help reinforce what has been learned in class. I learned all about Newton's Laws, and I think they're very important to life. If we didn't know about the laws, we wouldn't have many rides at amusement parks or many other things due to a lack of knowledge of physics.

A New Reason to Avoid Chocolate

This is an article probably not many of us have heard about, because it happened in England very recently. So we all know chocolate isn't the best thing for our health. However, this scare may spark mass paranoia over the course of about the next month or so. Cadbury, a candy company, recently recalled 1 MILLION chocolate bars. Why? Get this--salmonella. And the company didn't even bother to tell the public! Obviously, charges are being brought up against them. I think this company should altogether be shut down. They failed to tell the public after they realized the risk back in 2006! >:-O Bad company! They jeopardized(word study word) the public health, realized risks, and STILL sold the candy! I don't know about you, but it might be awhile before I eat foriegn chocolate again!
